Food & Drink
And just like that, it’s fall! The crispness of the air and crackle beneath your feet are a sure indicator of the change of seasons, and with that, cravings! For fall, that often means comfort food. You’re in luck; October is our most delectable issue of the year, filled with some of our favorite dishes and beverages around town. We’ve included a few new recipes to try at home, whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family or entertaining guests.
This season of harvest and bounty is also a reminder that food is so much more than just sustenance. It’s both an art and a cultural experience…or dare we say, escape? The smells of fall bring memories flooding back: warm apple pies, fresh cider and an array of chili and soups. And while what we create with the elements of fall may change depending on where we live, how we were raised and the time we have to prepare, I think we can all agree that the objective is the same– cozy comfort.
At its root, food is a pivotal piece of our daily experience, but we often take that for granted. Many, even locally, have never experienced such a luxury. To help combat this reality, Last Mile Food Rescue of Cincinnati ensures that fresh produce ends up in homes and not in the bin. Learn more about how they’ve already saved over 2 million pounds of food this year alone!
At the end of the day, food brings us all together, and whether we are sharing a meal with family and friends or celebrating a night out on the town, the time spent while enjoying food is arguably the most priceless and intimate moments we’ll get to share with loved ones.
Here’s to passing down secret recipes and sharing special moments for generations to come.
As always, thanks for reading, and we’ll see you around town!

LAST MILE FOOD RESCUE WORKS TO END FOOD INSECURITY IN
GREATER CINCINNATI
Feeding the Community
ARTICLE BY BILL FURBEE

Donated fresh produce.
Aaron Moore of Last Mile Food Rescue with Lorena Rull of food donor company Caruso USA.
"Last Mile Food Rescue has redirected over 10 million pounds of unused food from more than 200 donors."
While food waste and food insecurity might not be top-of-mind for most individuals, Last Mile Food Rescue is working to change that. By addressing both crises with a singular mission for food equity, the local nonprofit is significantly impacting countless lives in Greater Cincinnati.
Since its creation in October of 2020, Last Mile Food Rescue has redirected over 10 million pounds of unused food from more than 200 donors, which equates to 8.3 million meals provided to the food-insecure. In doing so, its efforts have also prevented an estimated 29 million pounds of CO2 emissions from occurring at local landfills.
“As a society, we waste an astounding amount of food–up to 40% of all food produced in the U.S. ends up in landfills,” reports Jocelyn Henderson, marketing manager for Last Mile Food Rescue. “It’s more than just wasted food,” she says, “it’s also a massive waste of resources such as water, energy and labor.”
Henderson explains that one out of five individuals today are facing food insecurity, uncertain where their next meal might come from.
“If we rescued just 25% of this wasted food, we could end food insecurity,” she reports.
These aren’t undesirable or expired food items. The food is fresh, nutritious and perfectly good to eat.
“It's surplus that otherwise would just be tossed,” Henderson stresses.
The Last Mile Food Rescue mission was inspired by similar programs operating in other cities,
like Pittsburgh. While studying community food insecurity in 2018, Tom Fernandez, co-founder of Last Mile, learned of these other large-scale food rescue operations; his fellow co-founder Julie Shifman, meanwhile, had become inspired by her sister’s work with a successful food rescue operation in Atlanta. Fernandez and Shifman were then introduced to each other by Kurt Reiber, CEO of The Freestore Foodbank–an organization also dedicated to eliminating hunger in the Cincinnati community–and Last Mile Food Rescue was born.
Here’s how it works: Volunteers log into a mobile phone app–Henderson describes it as simple to use, like an “Uber-style” app–to pick up excess food from places like local grocery stores, restaurants, stadiums, hospitals and cafeterias. After picking it up from these locations, the volunteers can then deliver that excess food to nearly 100 partner agencies in Greater Cincinnati, including Churches Active In Northside–CAIN, St. Vincent de Paul, Be Concerned and Impacting Tomorrow. The agencies, in turn, are able to provide it to clients, at no cost to them.
Last Mile Food Rescue accomplishes all of this with a network of over 750 dedicated volunteers.
“We call them Food Rescue Heroes,” Henderson explains.
These Food Rescue Heroes utilize a logistics solution to connect excess food with those who need it the most.

Madeira Farmers Market and Cincinnati Country Day School (CCDS) are two of many donors supplying food that would have gone to waste.
"We saw large amounts of food wasted each week,” Casey Wolford, senior food director of Sage Dining at CCDS, reports. “Thanks to Last Mile, we took action.”
“Last Mile is helping people in very real ways,” attests John Sinclair, Outreach & Pastoral Manager of Impacting Tomorrow, one of Last Mile Food Rescue’s many food distributors. “We had a woman that came in,” he says, “and she grabbed my face with her hands, and she looked at me and she said, 'Now, I want you to hear this; if we were not able to get this food, my family would not be eating.'”
Henderson passionately explains how vital the work that Last Mile Food Rescue carries out can be.
“Our efforts foster a stronger, more resilient community where resources are used wisely, and everyone has a
chance to thrive,” she says. “Last Mile Food Rescue is not only ensuring that people have access to fresh, healthy meals, but also promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility.”
Still, Henderson points out, many incorrectly believe food rescue is merely a small-scale solution to address food waste. That’s just not true, she says, adding that food rescue programs absolutely can have a large-scale impact on reducing food insecurity and waste.
“The impact of food rescue goes beyond numbers— it's about connecting with our neighbors, supporting families and building a community that cares for one another,” Henderson says. “Every small action, whether it’s volunteering an hour of time or spreading the word about our mission, can have a direct impact.”

CHOCOLATE and WINE
The Key to a Successful Wine and Chocolate Pairing Lies in Finding the Right Combination of Flavors and Characteristics.
Pairing wine and chocolate together can be a delightful sensory experience that can elevate the flavors of both. While the concept of pairing wine with food is well-known, pairing it with chocolate may seem unconventional at first. However, when done correctly, it can create a harmonious balance where the flavors of the wine and chocolate complement and enhance one another.
Wine and chocolate have a lot of similarities to each other. Both contain flavanols (antioxidants) and polyphenols (compounds found in plant-based food) that are good for you and have anti-inflammatory properties. These characteristics affect flavor so it’s somewhat challenging to pair wine and chocolate together. The more polyphenols, the more pronounced the bitter taste.
For example, if you sip a delicious dry red wine alongside a hunk of dark chocolate, the wine will start to taste bitter and sour. The taste imbalance is coming from the heightened levels of flavanols (different types of tannin) found in both chocolate and wine that end up clashing against each other on your tongue.
While it might sound counterintuitive, a good rule of thumb is to pair a wine that is “sweeter” than the chocolate itself. “Sweet” doesn’t refer to dessert wines alone. In the wine world, the term “sweet” is often used to denote ripe, fruit-forward flavors in a wine. These characteristics provide a nice balance to the bitter flavors of cocoa.
Both wine and chocolate can have intense, dry flavors. In order to find the right balance, it’s best to choose wines that are a little bit softer and juicier than the chocolate you’re pairing it with.
We’ve done the footwork to find several wines that partner well with chocolate. Here are our guidelines for matching chocolate with wine and a few of our favorite wine and chocolate pairings. We hope you’ll try them and then get inspired to experiment and create your own.
ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY CASSANDRA CASTANEDA
CREATING THE PERFECT PAIR
DARK CHOCOLATE
Bitter to semi-sweet dark chocolates, that are 50 to 100% cacao, have intense, bitter flavors, and earthy to fruity undertones. Match the intensity without adding more dryness by pairing these chocolates with full-bodied, yet fruit-forward wines.
Pairs well with:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Port, Merlot, Shiraz, Barolo
MILK CHOCOLATE
Milk chocolate is typically creamier and sweeter with flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and cream. It requires a wine that is light to medium in body, with a ripe fruit character.
Pairs well with:
Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sweet Riesling, Ice-Style Wine
WHITE CHOCOLATE
White chocolate has a sweet, buttery flavor with notes of cream and honey. Sweet white and rosè wines help cleanse the palate of the rich flavors from white chocolate, as does sparkling spumante like Moscato d’Asti.
Pairs well with:
Sweet Riesling, Moscato, Semi-Dry Sparkling Whites, Gewurztraminer
GET TO KNOW YOUR ONIONS
ARTICLE BY TERA MICHELSON
The onion is a flavor superstar. Sometimes sweet, sometimes savory, onions are a versatile and essential ingredient, adding depth and richness to a variety of recipes. No matter how you chop, dice or slice it, the onion is a culinary staple in almost every culture. Onions 52 knows onions. As a leading grower, packer and distributor of onions nationwide, they focus on one thing and do it well: they only do onions, fifty-two weeks a year. Starting in 1977 as a small group of Utah farmers, Onions 52 has blossomed into a successful coast-to-coast business, growing onions with farming partners in New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. They opened Onions 52, Inc.-East in Cincinnati this year, a 60,000 square-foot distribution and packing facility and gateway to the East Coast. Onions 52 takes pride in supplying yellow, red, white, sweet, Smileys™ and certified organic onions to retail and food service suppliers across the country.
With all the options available to us, how do we know which onion is best to use for which dish? The experts at Onions 52 help us peel back the layers to cooking with different types of onions. Rule your recipes with this helpful guide to get to know your onions.
YELLOW ONIONS
The most common in the onion family, yellows are full-flavored and well-rounded with a mild finish. The most subtle onion to the palate, yellow onions are at their best cooked in savory dishes. They help enhance other flavors in complex recipes—you may not be able to identify them, but you’d notice a blandness if they were not included in a dish. They are especially tasty with slow-cooked meats like roasted chicken, pot roast and rack of lamb and as an underlying base flavor in soups and stews.
PEEL BACK THE LAYERS OF COOKING WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF ONIONS
RED ONIONS
Flavorful and colorful, reds steal the show when they are raw, adding a crisp bite and vivid magenta to burgers and salads. Reds are also the best in the onion family for pickling. Roasted or grilled red onions may have a sugary aftertaste, causing a lighter onion-flavored breath than its raw version. If the bite of a red is too strong, try soaking it in cold water for 30-60 minutes to tame its flavor.
WHITE ONIONS
Salsa and tacos benefit most from the spicy kick of white onions, their sharp crunch a perfect match for Mexican recipes. Their high water content causes them to be larger and crisper than other varieties. Toss tangy whites in dishes where they can complement other ingredients, like stir fry, potato salad and chili.
SWEET ONIONS
If you are looking to add flavor without a sharp zing, sweets are the onion of choice. The thick layers of sweet onions are best for frying and make the best rings and blossoms. They also put the “ooh la la” in French onion soup. To maintain their sweetness, store sweets in the refrigerator, as they could spoil quicker than their onion cousins.
SMILEYS™ TEARLESS ONIONS
Called the “Happy-Go-Tearless” onions, Smileys™ were cultivated through three decades of farming to be naturally lower in the enzymes that cause eyes to burn and tear when exposed to freshly cut onions. If your eyes are especially sensitive, look for this mild, consistently sweet brand that will make your mouth water without making your eyes water.
ORGANIC ONIONS
Onions 52 organics come in yellow, red, white and sweet varieties. Compliant with strict USDA standards, organic onions offer higher levels of antioxidants, increasing the health benefits of the popular root veggies. Studies show that onions are anti-inflammatory, aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar. Add a variety of onions to the top of your grocery shopping list. Transform your favorite dishes by using the right kinds of onions. Red, yellow or white, onions are the flavor kings of the kitchen.
